Expansion joint sealing for commercial buildings in High Easter
Mastic Doctor has sealed movement joints since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Workmanship is backed by our 12-month guarantee. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, blockwork control joints and cladding panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are debris jammed in movement joints and spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in High Easter, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as High Easter, floor joints are often in barns and farm buildings turned into workshops, stores and offices. Whether it’s a farm store turned workshop or a storage unit, the joints need a product that suits the traffic.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will arrange a return visit.

Common questions from High Easter clients
Is a smaller place like High Easter outside your area?
No. Places such as High Easter are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you cover business parks and estates near High Easter, such as Parklands Business Centre?
Yes. Our area takes in High Easter and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Parklands Business Centre included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you use silicone or polyurethane in movement joints?
We choose a sealant with a movement capability that suits the joint as set out in BS EN ISO 11600. Where two different materials meet, a hybrid sealant can be the better choice.
Do the joint edges need to be sound before sealing?
Broken arrises have to be put right before resealing and we will flag every length affected. Sealing over them leads to early failure.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Keep racking legs and heavy point loads off floor joints
- Put movement joints on the planned maintenance inspection round
- Sweep decks, ramps and floors so grit doesn’t collect in the joints
On car parks, winter clearance can damage deck joint sealant. Lifting the blade at each joint avoids tearing the bead, and it’s worth checking joints once the cold weather has passed.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors by which time the joint has been open for a while. Catching it early keeps the water outside.
When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Why act early in High Easter
Combining joint work with other maintenance reduces set-up costs. But joints already letting water in shouldn’t wait for a programme. Urgent joints now, the rest later, is often the sensible plan. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like High Easter, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What you get with us
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- One contact handling all your sites
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in High Easter
High Easter is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External slab and deck joints still need a dry, clean joint to seal, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint. High Easter is about 29 miles from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London.
Parks like Parklands Business Centre (2.6 miles west of High Easter) combine paved areas, car parks and building elevations, each with joints that move. A healthcare site such as Broomfield Hospital, 5.1 miles to the south-east of High Easter, depends on car parks, ramps and service yards whose joints take traffic all day.
High Easter is about 7 miles north-west of Chelmsford, in Essex. Anywhere in CM1, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. 644 places across Essex fall within our area, including High Easter. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 29 miles from High Easter.
Business premises anywhere in CM1 are within our area for movement joints. We cover commercial and managed buildings on The Street and Boreham Court and the roads nearby. Close to High Easter, our area also takes in Stagden Cross (1 mile east), High Roding (2 miles north-west), Keeres Green (2 miles west), Roundbush Green (2 miles west) and Great Canfield (2 miles north-west). A short drive away, we cover Chelmsford (7 miles south-east), Braintree (10 miles north-east), Harlow (11 miles west), Brentwood (13 miles south), Maldon (15 miles east) and Billericay (13 miles south).

Cost factors for movement joints
To price the job, we consider:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
- Access and working height
Pricing movement joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between different materials
Different materials meeting at a joint rarely move in step. The product must bond to both substrates and cope with the movement.
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Close-up photographs help us judge the joints or a site visit fills the gaps.
On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. If others near High Easter need work, visits can be combined. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take, and flag anything that needs an engineer.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Edges are checked, and we tell you if any need repairing before sealing.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Areas reopen once cured, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
